I'm in Northern Europe, we get about 6 hours now and 18.5 in the summer, and I'd still prefer year-round DST. We tried permanent standard time for a few years and everyone complained about early summer sunsets so it was changed back to switching back and forth.
While winters are dark either way, DST would allow us to experience the full extent of precious twilight and daylight while awake and evenings after the workday would be lighter. Daylight before and during work hours is wasted anyway.
